At 11.41 hours on 13 May 1941 the Somersby (Master John William Thompson), a straggler from convoy SC-30, was hit amidships by one of two torpedoes from U-111 southwest of Reykjavik. The ship capsized and sank after being hit in the bow by a coup de grâce at 12.46 hours. The master, 38 crew members and four gunners were picked up by the Greek steam merchant Marika Protopapa and landed at Loch Ewe.
